A 32-year-old Sedalia man has been charged with a felony for allegedly threatening a woman with a handgun on May 17.
A Sedalia Police report says a domestic disturbance involving a gun was reported. A woman told authorities she let Cosa W. Hoskins inside her apartment, they started arguing, and she told him he needed to leave. The woman said Hoskins pulled out a handgun, started waving it around and told her he was going to show her what a pistol does.
The woman said Hoskins told her to take him to another person’s house in her vehicle. She said while en route, Hoskins started hitting her and pushing her face, so she pulled over. She said Hoskins reached toward a pocket where he had the gun, and the two struggled for it. She said Hoskins exited the vehicle, and she sped away and drove to the police department. Police located Hoskins and arrested him.
Court documents say Hoskins is charged with a felony for unlawful use of a weapon- exhibiting; and two misdemeanors. Bond is set at $15,000 cash or surety.
Hoskins’ initial hearing is pending at Pettis County Circuit Court.
